First blog

This is my first ever blog.Not really sure what I want to say.

Thanksgiving is approaching fast,So I guess I will talk about what I am thankful for.

I am thankful that my husband is still with me.After the tragic passing of my Cousin Tom(due to a car accident)I am so much more aware how close I came to losing Kyle.In October 2007,Kyle was t-boned(drivers side) by a large truck hauling x-mas trees.I was told it took 30 minutes to remove him using the jaws of life,the E.M.Ts believed he was already gone.

He was rushed to Mercy hospital to be stabalized for transport to Munson.Here I was handed his bloodied belongings and told he may die on the way.He was bleeding internally and had already been givin multiple units of blood(they had no more blood to give him -one of the reasons they had to transport him).I could follow the ambulance.

At Munson I was told the full extent of his injuries.His pelvis was broke in 3 places,he had a lascerated kidney and spleen,6 ribs broken(front and back)a collapsed lung and a broken ankle.Much to my amazement he had no head injuries.I was told he would be in the hospital for several months and in a wheelchair for at least a year..boy were they wrong!!!
He was in the hospital for 2 weeks(he wanted out!!!)they were amazed that he was able to go home(Kyle is very stubborn).He needed his wheelchair until January..when he announced he "wasnt sitting in that damn chair again!!".After some physical therapy and pins in his ankle,he has recovered fairly well,He will have some issues for the rest of his life though,his hip will never be completely normal and will get arthritis(it bothers him almost daily)and his ankle" feels" the cold weather,but over all Kyle was extremely Lucky!!and I am extremely greatful that he survived!!!

I am also grateful that my children are happy and healthy,They drive me crazy sometimes,but I am happy that they are mine!!
